CMK70 is a do-it-yourself Flat Screen TV Cord and Cable Power Kit which allows for neat and easy installation in under 30 minutes with no electrician or hard wiring involved. All parts and tools needed for installation are included in the kit, including pre-wired power cable. This kit is perfect for hiding low voltage cables such as HDMI. The kit includes 2 power grommets with 54 in. power harness, a 6 ft. power cord, a hole saw with a 1/4 in. bit for power drill, a Hole saw handle (for manual installation), and fish tape to feed cables behind the wall. CMK70 is the easiest solution for running flat screen TV cables behind walls!

I have a 65 inch wall-mounted TV and couldn't stand the sight of the power chord dangling in the middle.
Since NJ laws prohibit running the power chord thru the wall (at least that was what was told to me), I had to find alternate ways to hide the power chord. This kit does a great job of hiding the TV's chord.
Home Depot's price when I purchased it was significantly cheaper than any other place (including Bestbuy).
I confess that I am a lazy bum and distinctly uneasy when it comes to tinkering with stuff that involves a big replacement cost like my new TV, and my condo as a worst case example if I end up drilling holes in the wrong places. :D
So, I paid $50 for my local BestBuy Geek Squad guys to install this. (They agreed to it because they had installed the TV and I had purchased the TV thru BB. They did a great job!)
If you know where exactly to drill the holes - size is slightly bigger than a baseball - then I would recommend doing it yourself. The kit comes with tools to remove remove the portions in the wall and with long rods to help establish connection between the two ends.
Pros: Nice Design, Easy Installation
Yes, I recommend this product.

With the Belkin Conserve Smart 8-Outlet Auto-Off Surge Protector you can turn power off to components like DVD players and gaming consoles by use of your TV's remote control.

Loved the way it can segregate the 'linked' components that need be switched off and the others that need not,

Though I haven't had any power surge or the equipment to determine if the product works well in stopping the surge, I am confident in relying on Belkin's name.
I have the TV as my main component and the power-off of all the linked components (currently AVR, Blue-ray, cable-box) is a great feature. It take a second for the linked components to turn off their power. (I initially had my subwoofer also linked but was irritated with a thump that comes out everytime the power is turned off/on. So, I delinked it and have it on the slot that allows it constant power.)
Love the product and would highly recommend it!
Pros: Easy to Use
Yes, I recommend this product.
